I am not sure if there is a thread for 3IS on oil used by owners, so I hope to start one.
I use Shell Helix Ultra 5w-40 with OEM filters
Thanks for sharing guys!

Is that the recommended oil viscosity for the IS in Singapore? That’s quite different from the 0W-20 that the owners manual recommends here in the US as well as in Europe.

Lexus/Toyota 0w-20 and OEM filter over here.
Maybe if I start doing the oil change myself I may switch to another oil, but I'll always use OEM filters.

I bought 7L of Toyota 0W-20 and an OEM filter (and drain plug washer) for my first oil change, which I'll do at 5000 km. I was recommended ENEOS 0W-20, which is made by Nippon oil, but I had read this analysis of the Toyota stuff.

Well to give my oil choice, I use Mobil-1 Extended Performance 0W-20 and the Mobil-1 Extended Performance oil filter. I just changed it my oil and filter 2 months ago. I used this same oil on my G37S and it worked pretty well. I also used the OEM Toyota drain plug washer, I have a bag of them.

I try to look up the part on the diagram but nothing.
